DeSantis says Romney 'never fought for us.' An unearthed yearbook photo shows he once campaigned for him
ABC News ^ | November 14, 2023 | Olivia Rubin

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday took aim at fellow Republican Mitt Romney, painting the outgoing senator as a member of the "surrender caucus of Republicans" who "never fought for us in the beginning."

"I don't really know Mitt Romney," DeSantis said in response to a question about a Romney-backed gathering of presidential candidates last month.

But a black-and-white photograph from DeSantis' Harvard Law School yearbook unearthed by ABC News indicates that at one point, DeSantis campaigned on Romney's behalf.

The image shows the cheerful-looking law student wielding a "Romney for Governor'' sign during the 2002 Massachusetts gubernatorial campaign -- an election Romney handily won, launching his political career.

“Meatball for Romney”

As a reminder, Trump contributed to the Senate campaigns of Hillary and Kirsten Gillebrand.

i’ve never seen anyone destroy such a promising political career in a more cringe-worthy fashion than meatball has done in 6 short months.

The most entertaining day on Free Republic will be the day that the Freeper supporters of President Trump — after months of trashing Trump’s opponents — arrive at this board to urge, when he wins the GOP nomination, that it’s time for all of the non-Trump people to band together to support Trump for the general election.

Got my popcorn! Can’t wait to see what receipts get cashed!

So, he was 17 and stupid. We all were.
That means nothing to me.

If he campaigned to get Romney elected because of Romney’s promise for socialist medicine that would be something.

"Even though I campaigned for him, I don't really know Mitt Romney," DeSantis said

Snort..

This is the guy who backstabbed the greatest, most popular and most respected president in modern American history. He's batting zero.

So? Maybe he thought the alternative was worse. Pierre fooled a lot of people. I daresay a lot of freepers voted DemonRAT when they were young. I guess they should be cancelled too

Photo....

Photoshopped? Like the controversy over the one of Lee Harvey Oswald in the backyard with a communist book and a rifle with his head a little too large and his body leaning to the wise without tipping over and other proportions out of whack. “Photo tampering” was the 1963 term.

But apparently modern methods have shown the photo actually could have been genuine.
